COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A dognapper in Denmark said he will kill a 13-year old beagle and send his owners a video tape of the dastardly act if his ransom demand for $10,000 is not met, police said Tuesday.
"Skipper," who is so infirm his owners had recently begun taking him out for his perambulations in a child's stroller, was reported missing last Wednesday.
"Since then the couple has spoken to the blackmailer four or five times, but we have advised them not to answer the phone anymore," said a police officer in the small town of Bogense on the island of Fuen in central Denmark.
The small brown and black dog's abductor has not given a final deadline for payment of the ransom. Police have advised his owners not to raise the money.

"Ten big ones or the pooch gets it" -- sounds like a line from a Jimmy Cagney movie.

Sick bastards. If they follow through on their threat, I hope the spirit of Skipper gets to take the first bite out of their sorry a$$es on their journey to hell.

When the perp is caught, he should be sent to the pound, with a sentence that if he's not adopted in three days, he'll be euthanized.

Nah, heaven and hell are about eternity. I expect Skipper'll be taking a bite out of the perp hourly . . . forever. Dogs don't get bored playing the same fun game over and over, so it'll be heaven for Skipper.

If they try that do some of the hunting dogs around here, the perps will likely be eating buckshot.

If this idiot tried to pull this with my dog, he'd be biting down on a 180-grain, Nosler ballistic tip .30-06 round.

Gotta love that National Lampoon photo. I was thinking about doing a search for it on the web, but you beat me to it!

Let's see....pay $10,000 for 13-yr old dog about to die from old age, or go to pound and get one for $30?
Bye skipper. Nice knowing you.
